    Fashion Trends 2016 U.S. & U.K. Report [email protected] Intro With every query typed into a search bar, we are given a glimpse into user considerations or intentions. By compiling top searches, we are able to render a strong representation of the population and gain insight into this population’s behavior. In our second iteration of the Google Fashion Trends Report, we are excited to introduce data from multiple markets. This report focuses on apparel trends from the United States and United Kingdom to enable a better understanding of how trends spread and behaviors emerge across the two markets. We are proud to share this iteration and look forward to hearing back from you. Olivier Zimmer | Trends Data Scientist Yarden Horwitz | Trends Brand Strategist Methodology To compile a list of accurate trends within the fashion industry, we pulled top volume queries related to the apparel category and looked at their monthly volume from May 2014 to May 2016. We first removed any seasonal effect, and then measured the year-over-year growth, velocity, and acceleration for each search query. Based on these metrics, we were able to classify the queries into similar trend patterns. We then curated the most significant trends to illustrate interesting shifts in behavior.

She may have attractive under- wear if she is wise in the selection of materials and careful in making it or in choosing ready-made garments. It is not the amount of money that one spends so much as it is good judgment in the choice of styles, materials and trimmings.

  • Geomorphology and Paleohydrology of Hurricane Crawl Cave, Sequoia National Park, California
    J.D. Despain, B.W. Tobin, and G.M. Stock – Geomorphology and paleohydrology of Hurricane Crawl Cave, Sequoia National Park, California. Journal of Cave and Karst Studies, v. 78, no. 2, p. 72–84. DOI: 10.4311/2013ES0114 GEOMORPHOLOGY AND PALEOHYDROLOGY OF HURRICANE CRAWL CAVE, SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA JOEL D. DESPAIN1*, BENJAMIN W. TOBIN2, AND GREG M. STOCK3 Abstract: Hurricane Crawl Cave in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, California, contains adjacent but varied passage morphologies including network and anastomotic mazes, large rooms, narrow canyons, prolific speleothems, and multiple levels that collec‐ tively are difficult to explain. We investigated the cave through cartography, geochronology, dye traces, modern discharge measurements, and paleodischarge estimates from scallop and cobble measurements. The cave has strong structural control along vertically oriented beds and subparallel fractures. 26Al/10Be burial dating of coarse clastic sediment suggests a minimum cave age of 1.4 Ma, and a time-averaged in-cave incision rate of 0.02 mm y−1. Dye traces proved that an obvious surface stream is the source of the primary stream in the cave, but that other small streams rise from diffuse flow. Modern discharge measurements range from 0.042 to 0.002 m3 s−1. Paleodischarge and flow velocity values determined from scallops and cobbles vary more in relation to passage morphology than to passage elevation, a proxy for time. Paleodischarges were orders of magnitude larger than modern discharge. We attribute varied morphology and location of mazes to temporally and spatially variable sediment flux and stream discharges. Higher sediment loads and stream discharges promote the development of passages with anastomotic maze morphology.

In the educational setting, female students are required to take additional steps to ensure that they are not disrupting the learning environment at school (Glickman, 2016). These additional steps are laid out in educational policies like dress codes, which state the dress code rules, the rationales for those dress code rules, and the sanctions attached to dress code violations.

  • Narratives of Contamination and Mutation in Literatures of the Anthropocene Dissertation Presented in Partial
    Radiant Beings: Narratives of Contamination and Mutation in Literatures of the Anthropocene Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kristin Michelle Ferebee Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Dr. Thomas S. Davis, Advisor Dr. Jared Gardner Dr. Brian McHale Dr. Rebekah Sheldon 1 Copyrighted by Kristin Michelle Ferebee 2019 2 Abstract The Anthropocene era— a term put forward to differentiate the timespan in which human activity has left a geological mark on the Earth, and which is most often now applied to what J.R. McNeill labels the post-1945 “Great Acceleration”— has seen a proliferation of narratives that center around questions of radioactive, toxic, and other bodily contamination and this contamination’s potential effects. Across literature, memoir, comics, television, and film, these narratives play out the cultural anxieties of a world that is itself increasingly figured as contaminated. In this dissertation, I read examples of these narratives as suggesting that behind these anxieties lies a more central anxiety concerning the sustainability of Western liberal humanism and its foundational human figure. Without celebrating contamination, I argue that the very concept of what it means to be “contaminated” must be rethought, as representations of the contaminated body shape and shaped by a nervous policing of what counts as “human.” To this end, I offer a strategy of posthuman/ist reading that draws on new materialist approaches from the Environmental Humanities, and mobilize this strategy to highlight the ways in which narratives of contamination from Marvel Comics to memoir are already rejecting the problematic ideology of the human and envisioning what might come next.

  • General Ancient Greek Clothing Was Created by Draping One Or More Large Rectangles of Cloth Around the Body
    Ancient Greek and Roman Clothing Information Sheet Greek Clothing: General Ancient Greek clothing was created by draping one or more large rectangles of cloth around the body. The cloth was woven by the women of the household, and the materials most often used were wool and linen. There were no set sizes to a piece of apparel. How the rectangles were draped, belted, and pinned determined how they fit the contours of the body and how they were named. When seen on statues or in painted pottery, the clothing often appears to be white or a single color. In actuality, the textiles used for clothing were often dyed in bright colors such as red, yel- low, green or violet. Decorative motifs on the dyed cloths were often either geometric patterns or patterns from nature, like leaves. Wide-brimmed hats were worn by men in bad weather or while traveling in the hot sun. When not letting their long hair fall in trailing curls on their backs or shoulders,Greek women put their hair up in scarves or ribbons. Depictions of men in paintings and statues also show them with filets (cloth headbands) around their heads. Though Greeks often went barefoot around the house, a variety of shoe styles were available, from sandals to boots. The sandals worn by the statue of Artemis shown in full view on the next page. Oedipus is dressed for travel in his wide-brimmed hat, cloak, and shoes.

    WOLVERINE VS. SABRETOOTH PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Disney Book Group,Clarissa Wong | 24 pages | 05 Feb 2013 | Marvel Press | 9781423172895 | English | New York, United States Wolverine vs. Sabretooth PDF Book Victor runs off during the fight, wishing Rose "good luck in hell". Add the first question. Both characters have been horribly mismanaged over the past few years, but Sabretooth should win the majority of these fights. This includes the ability to see objects with greater clarity and at much greater distances than an ordinary human. Sabretooth, not believing him, dares Wolverine to do it. Creed sets a trap for Logan before heading to his meeting, but it fails causing the two to battle. A wolverine -- the animal -- is a large carnivore that looks like a small bear. And then for whatever reason we didn't do it. It also indicates that his fighting speed is his most enhanced skill. His rampage is brought to an end when Wolverine interrupts him and the two battle to a stalemate, at one point knocking one another out. As we have seen every time a battle between Logan and Victor happens, Sabretooth always has the upper hand, but Wolverine turns out to win at the end. But, the brutal moment shows how Wolverine exhausted all of his options in dealing with Sabretooth and decided the best way to stop him was to kill him. His size and strength, added with his healing factor and adamantuim tipped clawz and his Special Forces training. Back to School Picks. In , Creed using the alias Sabretooth works as a mercenary assassin in Saigon.

Where should employers draw the line in the workplace? What grooming guidelines, if any, should organizations develop? When it comes to dress codes, what legal rights do employers and employees have? Are there any guidelines on religious dress? These questions and more are what employers and employees are asking everyday. With times quickly changing and as younger generations get older, norms and expectations slowly transform. Business attire five days a week has become more rare in the average workplace or agency. Young executives and managers are more liberal in there approaches to issues of this sort, making the term “dress for success” less stressful and more cost effective for the average person. Grooming Standards Personal "style" reflects a diverse workplace and often individuals with tattoos are creative individuals. However depending on his or her job, an employee's appearance may alienate customers.
